This causes bash to check the terminal size after every command and adjusts $LINES and $COLUMNS to the correct values. If that works, add it to your .bashrc Phil -- This email has been scanned by Ascribe PLC using Microsoft Antigen for Exchange. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

xterm line wrapping
Hi All, I wonder if anyone else sees this. When I open an xterm, it all works fine with the default dimensions. But if I resize the terminal, line wrapping stops working until I return to the initial size. This was present in the old xterm, and persists after upgrading to the new one. Interestingly, if I have a file opened in vi when resizing, vi works quite well and wraps the lines correctly according to the terminal size. But when I get out of vi I get the same problems back :-( Thanks, Gustavo. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
